Add a word/Sounds like "ahn" (as in "art") + "toh" (as in "toll") + "HEE" (as in "he") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
Meaning
A small Mexican street food snack, the kind of craving-worthy bite you grab from a sidewalk stand with no formalities. Tacos, gorditas, sopes, quesadillas, and tamales all qualify. The word comes from "antojo" (craving), and these dishes earn the name every time you walk past a stall.
Examples
“Let's grab some street snacks on the corner, I am really craving gorditas right now.”
“The fair has tons of cheap antojito stands you can eat from all day.”
